Now even Quick is getting in on this LA wants out train

Players bitch about wanting out all the time. Happens more in smaller cities when your team isn't in the playoffs. Everyone wants more money and to be on a winning team. Winning cures most ills. BFD.

The pants-shitting over this is ridiculous. Blazers need to get the man, Brian Grant, more involved. He's one of the biggest FA's PDX EVER acquired. We got him here. Shit fell apart cu. he was unhappy with how things fell apart, but he returned upon retirement. Obviously, it ain't that bad here.

And for those worried about Dame.... We're close to his hometown, his big endorsement is based here.... Don't shat yourselves.

 

Nobody is worried about Dame. It's just PapaG and Presidente creating drama.

 

Same was said about aldridge and basically every centerpiece of the team going back to Drexler.

Eventually lillard will be the scapegoat and fans and media will be more than happy to great him with pitchforks.

How exactly did we "run Aldridge out of town?" I'm just curious. The rumor is that he wants out. Many people have said that the only way Olshey trades him is if he knows LMA wants out. Are you one of those people who blames themselves when your girl cheats on you?

 

Have you not read the message board the past year? You are so enamored with discovering a mediocre player into being a future star that it clouds your basketball judgement. People pile and pile on "lamarshmellow" all year...he puts up the most ppg for his postion and people look to dump him for crap. ... they say "hes not in Lillards" window or "he wants out now". Any justification to satisfy your desire to dump him so you can argue to acquire players you have a mancrush for.

It's got zero to do with the fans or media. It's the endless rebuilding on a team that's mired in the draft every damn year.

 

LaMarcus Aldridge Wants Trade From Blazers, Deems Portland Too Small...

LaMarcus Aldridge has wanted out of Portland since the last week of the Trail Blazers' season and did not resign sponsorship deals in Portland this past year, including agreements with Cadillac, Chevy, and Providence Hospital while asking to get out of a lease on his Pearl District condo.

Aldridge tried to put a clause into his lease that he will not have to pay penalties if he was traded.

“This is why I hate being in Portland,’’ Aldridge said during the last week of the season. “You can’t do anything.’’

According to the report, Aldridge would not only welcome a trade from the Blazers, but he hopes for one, believing the city is too boring and small.

Neil Olshey said he sympathized with the constant change Aldridge has gone through with the Blazers, but the GM was adamant he would not be shopping the All-Star forward.

“Well, I’ll tell you this: I’m not going to be making any phone calls to move him,’’ Olshey said. “But if the phone rings and it makes the team better ...’

 

alot has to do with fan discontent. Sheed, ZBO, Jailblazers.....fans and media revolt and bitch and moan when the team sucks so they choose a target and latch on that, usually the marquee player.

 

Re: LaMarcus Aldridge Wants Trade From Blazers, Deems Portland Too Small...

Inaccurate title. Jason Quick says LaMarcus Aldridge deems portland too small and boring based on his beliefs, not any actual stated information.

 

Re: LaMarcus Aldridge Wants Trade From Blazers, Deems Portland Too Small...

Well if it's to small whats the point of even having a team?

 

Re: LaMarcus Aldridge Wants Trade From Blazers, Deems Portland Too Small...

to give us something to complain about.

 

Randolph wanted to stay in Portland.

 

Fans, pitchforks, etc. made up stories about impending drug and dog fighting charges. the absolute to trade him "now" or risk getting "nothing in return". the need to "rebuild from scratch" to give young prospects to "grow together".

sounds familiar?

 

Or....... the newly crowned ROY wanted him gone. And who was saying "trade Randolph now or risk losing him for nothing?" That's absurd. You're trying to make a square peg in a round hole. The Randolph situation had nothing in common with the Aldridge situation.

 

Re: LaMarcus Aldridge Wants Trade From Blazers, Deems Portland Too Small...

Do you even read the other threads?

 

well, knowing from past experience, LA is as good as gone when it gets to this point. oh well. jersey curse lives on.

 

a lot of people were saying that

Made up? LOL. ZBo was no saint. I know first-hand on more than one occasion. I didn't want him gone, though. Even if Oden had stayed healthy.... ZBo, LA, and Oden in a front court together. 32 minutes each? Ridiculous.

 

Haven't we learned to not start a thread with that jerkoffs name in the title?


Sent from my baller ass iPad FAMS!

 

Or, in a perfect world, Durant/ZBO/Aldridge
